What a day

Today was a decent day so it started out that way. Then the afternoon hit and it got really sad. This lady called regarding her friend whom she has been trying to get a hold of for the past couple of days and she asked if I could have someone from maintenance go and check her place out for her. Oh yeah the person whom she was asking about is The Board President of where I work also one of my bosses. Well I sent maintenance over there and the lady called back I put her on hold to call him and see what was going on. He answered and said call 911 she is dead. I panicked and called back to my manage telling her she needed to talk to the lady on the phone cause I had to call 911. The lady said she last talked to her on Sunday and Dicie has said she was not feeling well. I think when someone dies when it is so unexpected that hits hurts that much more. I am still in a state of shock and dont know where to turn. I feel horrible for her family. But so if this is not sappy enough, I am going to end this with a memory that I have of Dicie and that I am going to miss terribly. WHEN YOU WOULD BE TALKING TO DICIE SHE WOULD HOLD ONTO YOUR ARM, GRAB YOUR ELBOW TO PULL YOU CLOSER TO HER TO TELL HER STORY, GIVE YOU A HUG TELL YOU THAT SHE LOVED YOU AND TO BE CAREFUL WHEN SHE WOULD LEAVE. SHE WAS A GREAT PERSON AND HAD A LOT OF LOVE IN HER HEART AND SHE IS GOING TO BE MISSED. SO R.I.P. DICIE MARTIN MAY YOUR SPIRIT SHINE THROUGH OUR MEMORIES AND TEACH US ALL TO LOVE EACHOTHER A LITTLE MORE. I hope wherever you are you are on my side.
